I am going on my third set of tie rod ends on my 2007 2500. The first set had 12,000 miles on them. the second had just over 5,000 miles. The third set is on order now. The dealer said it is pretty common because of no grease fittings on the stock ends. Suggested I get after market tie rod ends. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks

 

my 04.5 truck has grease fittings on the ends, this something new on the newer trucks? my truck now has a total of 11 grease fittings- after replacing parts. i grease every 3,000 miles-myself

 

three sets 1n 18k miles ?. Thats BS something else is to blame I have 40k on my 07 no play at all. While I know they wear out fast but not that fast

 

Mine is an 06 but I have 91,000 miles with no slack.
